The second part though was the one that I thought would be harder, and that is my geotagging metadata.

With Adobe’s Bridge software you can right click on any file (or multiple files) and select “File Info.” Here you can then enter in keyword metadata that will automatically be recognized by both Flickr and Zooomr. I learned to better use the functionality of Adobe Bridge. The first part of this was the easiest for me. This is a better way to do things as when the files are uploaded to Flickr and Zooomr, both systems will automatically read file metadata and post it to your image record. To make a long story short, my resolution this year was to stop using the metadata functionality at places like Flickr and Zooomr and to figure out how better to actually associate my photo metadata with my original photo files themselves.

So even if I could figure out how to get my metadata out of Flickr, I’m not sure it would be easy to get the metadata reassociated with my original files. So my photos on Flickr are reduced in both quality and size. This also holds true for my metadata with my Zooomr photos as well (although we are working to build a downloader that will allow you to download your photos and metadata from Zooomr in the future).įurther, my problem with my photos on Flickr is complicated even more by the fact that Flickr does not allow photos on their site larger than 10MB and most of my photos are over 10MB in size. While there are tools to download your photos from Flickr, there is no tool that I’m aware of today that allows you to easily retrieve both your photos AND your metadata. This is not necessarily done purposely, but all of a sudden it hit me that the literally hundreds of hours I’d spent tagging the thousands of photos of mine on Flickr may have very well been wasted hours given that I had no way to associate this data with the photos on my hard drive.
Last year I was hit with the realization that much of the metadata that I’ve stored up on Flickr with regards to my photographs was pretty much locked up.
One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to figure out how better to manage and control the metadata associated with my photographs. Use Google Earth to Directly Geotag Your Photos with Geotagger for the Mac Hosted on Zooom r
